Probably one of the most underrated pieces of videogame OST in all of history
Joe Gribble amen to that
Facts!
"Which Yeul are you talking about? I've known and protected hundreds of Yeuls and although they had the same soul, every one of them was unique! A Yeul who dreamed of travel, A Yeul who loved to sing, A Yeul who collected flowers. They all died! All of them, before my eyes!"
Fuck anyone who bashes and beats on FFXIII-2's story.
Freaking excuse me, I really liked it. It was about more than just some evil overlord taking over the world or someone going all crazy and / or emo, wanting to destroy everything.
The struggle in FFXIII-2 is the most personal one so far in any Final Fantasy game - the villain isn't even truly evil! It's all about the struggle between the ones wanting to save the world and the one wanting to sacrifice the world to save a friend. And it constantly has the player question "What would *_I_* do?".
Add to that how all three of them, Serah, Noel and Caius, have actual personalities, clearly think about things and follow their ideals - and what's there left to hate?
*_People just hate on this game because FFXIII was so painfully mediocre and because it's become a sort of "cool trend" to hate new Final Fantasy games,_* and behind closed doors they play the games themselves.
Yeah, I said what we all think and know is true. ^^
+Ani Ga Best comment ever!!! My thoughts exactly!
+Ani Ga Uh, I thought the original was better than this. And honestly, I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.
Lardo137 Just because we disagree, that doesn't mean I'm wrong. It doesn't mean you're wrong, for that matter, either.
+Ani Ga Couldn't agree more with you. Word for word.
I honestly don't undertand why people hate the 13 trilogy so fucking much, this games are beautiful.
+Ice Bear's cute butt These are my favorite FF-Games.
+Ice Bear's cute butt they hate change and are using FFXIII as a scapegoat for that hatred. That's the best I can figure based on the kinds of comments haters usually have for it. Personally, XIII is may favorite FF.
+Ice Bear's cute butt That's precisely it's problem. Square Enix fired all their game designers and hire every artist they could
+Dawliet Palamecia what
+Ice Bear's cute butt i'm exaggerating xD
"if you wish to have my soul, you have to take it by force. Do your best savior cleave the evil from me, and save me if you can."-Caius Rematch with Lightning.
Cleave the evil* 🤓
Latin Lyrics:
Dea Mortis, iuravi carissimam servaturum x3
Dea Mortis, servabo ut tempora recte ducam
Etsi cor in Chao, aut Fortuna bella ferat,
Occurram et obviam ibo.
English translation:
Goddess of Death, I have sworn to protect the most beloved.
Goddess of Death, I will keep to lead time on the right path.
Even if my heart is in Chaos or Fortune wages wars,
I will charge and I will face it.
Awesome!
Of all these, you robbed me, of this serum, made of poo (x4)
Of all these, serum of poo, and all of this is all yours, this is more, save my poo, all of it. I mean all of it.
UNHEAR THAT!!! MWAHAHAHA!!!
We need more appearances of Caius and more interactions between Caius and Lightning. Always gives me the emotions and the chills.
Amen to that. Caius is such a beast in battle and has so much depth of character. Need more of him.
+Fishy42 Hopefully he's going to be announced for Dissidia and we do see more of him and more of his interactions between Lightning and Caius.
Serini that never happened 😭
@@f.fadairo4249 Unfortunately so. There was some sort of announcement that they might continue the Dissidia series at one point, so who knows. But yes, not adding Caius to Dissidia NT was an awful mistake, haha
Manages to be both the first FF villain to destroy the world, and the first to completely save it.
Word for word!
good to see im not the only one who sees it that way, screw the FF 6 fantards, Kefka did NOT destrory the world, people still live on it, Caius, KILLED that, world, Lightning Returns makes that very clear, 13 days to save the souls of the people, you can NOT save that world, it dies, end of.
@@TheAuron32 I almost did mention Kefka. I'm glad I read that before doing so, because you're right.
@@codename618 make no mistake, Kefka was close to it and likely would eventually nuke it out of boredom, i imagine torturing the worlds survivors would get boring after a while.
@@TheAuron32 Kefka reached Godhood; but he never destroyed a world.
Dear Square:
I really liked the concept of the Paradox Scope. I would like to see it used again in future titles.
Thank you
"Here in Valhalla, the chaos is my ally. Now let us decide the true history."
― Caius Ballad Final Fantasy XIII-2)
I got shivers from this
@@oldrulesandnewrulesarethesame Me too the song hit at the right time
@@JIX9ISLER1986 The music starting at 1:30 is literally the perfect music for a fallen hero (which Caius is)
Caius is a great villain (since Sephiroth of FF7)! Great song and great battles against him!
They are both excellent, Sephiroth's story and theme are slightly better, but the fight against him was pathetic, almost nonexistent. Caius has a great theme, story, and fight. Honestly, their both great.
This music gets me pumped.
Finished XIII-2 yesterday. Amazing last boss marathon, but what the hell was that ending?!
for the record, this battle hurt, a lot.
i was impressed by how intense caius made this fight, everything from rapid casting ultima, to uber debuffs and all-powerful rays of deathness and infernos.
dammit caius! he even continues fighting after he resurrects! talk about scary....
HERE in Valhalla, the Chaos is my ally...NOW LET US DECIDE THE TRUE HISTORY!
I love 13 trilogy so much, I don't kniw why ppl hate it a lot, I loved the characters, worlds, and ghe whole fabula nova chrysallis is just so intriguing. I still replay 13s here and then
Nice.
He's alive, the director said as much. Now whether it is Caius alone or just a resurrected Caius slave to the power of Chaos is another matter entirely. According to the interview on the subject his body was brought back by the Chaos of Valhalla when the worlds fused together.
Thanks for the upload its wonderful
R.I.P Mog. To the best Moogle ever :'(
the song is meant to sound pretty chaotic and melodramatic at the same time creating this "final chaotic showdown" appeal and i like that.
Caius is now one of my top 5 favorite villain now.
Same even 11 years later
Kefka: Partially succeeded in destroying the world (still died)
Sephiroth & Jenova: Got very close, but were stopped
Ultimecia: Fucked herself into a time loop of failure forever
Caius: COMPLETELY SUCCEEDED
"If you change the future, you change the past." Caius Ballad.
He isnt wrong.
Good job on the editing, this song was a bit challenging for me to also extend this song.
I simply love the beginning, sounds so epic *-*
This makes me one happy little lady
YEAAAA. An extended version!!
FF13-2 can have the most nonsensical plot in FF history. It can screw up everything good about the characters in 13. But it still has the best battle system in the FF series, some of the best music, and I STILL GET GOOSEBUMPS WHEN CAIUS HAS HIS MONOLOGUE ABOUT THE "YEUL THAT LOVED TO SING!"
Talking about their individualities put some cosmic horror perspective on what Caius had to go through. I mean, he literally waited until the end of time.
Only character i think was shit in XIII-2 was Snow, and i would like it more if Vannile and Fang didn't even appear in the game and Sazh had more interactions with Noel and Serah before the final battle, also, why the heck did he brought his kid to a battle zone? Just leave him somewhere safe, i'm pretty sure Sazh met other people that he can trust by now.
@@LiberatedGuardian I think sazh didn't want to risk losing dodg or whatever his name was again so he decided it was just better if he looked after him himself.
unlike other villains, he did not babble on about his master plan. How do you defeat an enemy that has seen history itself, including its many possibilities? Lightning turning into crystal stasis to preserve Sera memory, and waking up in another time? I wounder what she will find, and i wounder how Snow feels that his fiance if dead. I hope they continue the story and not leave it behind like dirge of Cerberus with Genesis secret ending, and ff9 with Necron.
Damn Caius. He planned of all of this. I think he knew exactly what would happen at the ending.
Well because he did know what was gonna happen. He already lived it before.
Barthandelus seemed like the typical sneaky politically-charged "evil" villain. Caius was anything but a typical villain. He wasn't evil at all, but was just an angry, displeased, and overall desparate man willing to do ANYTHING to help save a poor little girl with an extraordinary "gift". Not to mention that Caius was just pure badass and someone that you always enjoyed seeing on your TV screen.
One of the best ost
In the extra gameplay "Soul of Rebirth", he conquers heaven too....but was defeated by the people who had already died the game. Still an achievement though.
downloaded it, now cant stop listening 2 it -.-
I wish there was a hard mode...
Thank you Claire...
Are you joking? I found this game nearly impossible in its standart mode
I would have given it a crack personally.
If there was, I would never be able to beat it.
Well, Caius WAS designed by Tetsuya Nomura and that seems to be the style Nomura aims for lately.
what caius is actually trying to accomplish is to kill the goddess without him dying and creating a new world without etro in his way. true that if caius is killed etro is killed but the way he caius says things is all part of his plan to bring to the conclusion that he wanted noel to die. the caius that was killed by noel is the real one but remember, he said that he will create an eternal paradox and what he said was true as seen in the secret ending. therefore he lives and etro dies
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is the final piece of the story in Lightning's arc; and Caius Ballad will be coming back in that game.
Unseen Abyss is the perfect song for them since its lead by this song
Yeah, i hope they don't end it like this. I mean, we don't know what happened to Vanille, Fang, Sazh, Hope, Noel, or Snow. I really hope that they come out with a XIII-3
This song is used in the last fight against Caius in Valhalla in his human form
With Lightning being a bad ass Warrior Goddess of course. As much as I love Caius, I can't wait to see Light undo everything he did.
Caius' LC battle theme
I remember there was a 30minute extended version of this, with crisp sound.
The youtuber recently deleted it a few weeks back. His name was "_____ Fuentes" ? Cant remember entirely.
Can anyone help find another copy like it?
I would literally get hours of work done with that on repeat.
This is a super late reply, and idk if you've already seen this, but here's a 30min extension ruclips.net/video/7jotPO6QFYU/видео.html
@@Its_Ark_Angel you're a real one bro. Thankd.
My theory so far is that having no future and no death or life means stagnation, which appears to be the case for the new setting. I'm more interested in what Caius is doing now that his master plan has been completed.
Caius, Noel, and Yeul are my favorite FF13 saga characters. I feel like there's something wrong with that. I also really love Hope and Snow, though.
I was so happy to have my ass handed to me by Caius in Lightning Returns. Megaflare! Giga-Graviton! Chill-Surge-Tornado-Flare COMBO OF DEATH! GIVE INTO THE CHAOS...!
-Escape 0EP-
Only classy final bosses return and literally combo between ultimate attacks in subsequent games.
Wait he does all of THAT at once O.O. Oh thanks man. Now I need to pray before I get this game. I'm scared now.
Yeah, Caius strings ultimate attacks together. It's like if Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts 2 used Supernova, Big Bang, Apocalypse, and then while you're still taking damage started the summon animation for Bahamut or the animation for Heartless Angel.
My favorites are Caius, Snow, and Fang(some what because of bahamat tho)
When you have been tortured by the various reincarnations of Yuel since the dawn of time as I have, you don't hold back. Lightning was my sworn enemy. I thought I was rid of her, and she shows up in MY domain!? She must DIE!
you like it up di azz eh ?
caius is the most meaning full vilian in FF history
The plot is not the problem with this game, the problem is it's screenplay, seriously, Noel and Serah made up mostly all of their time and space theories, and they were right in the end, same goes for Hope, it was written that way, believing it'd make them look smart, but for me it made the game look like a cheap fanfic. Caius is... clearly not that case. Everything he says is just pure epicness, god i love that character
Dawliet Palamecia His voice actor is godlike
+Dawliet Palamecia I made the game! Without me, it would be complete garbage!
+Caius Ballad Nah not really.
+Dawliet Palamecia I agree completely.
What bothers me more is how Serah is just...a prop most of the time. I mean, she's dis-empowered most of the time, versus being impeded most of the time. The difference between disempowered and impeded in the storywriting sense is that the latter is being faced with an obstacle, the former is the inability or refusal to do anything.
I mean, in the cutscene here, she literally just falls to her knees for no reason as Caius and Noel are fighting right there. In the fight against Adam, she has to be saved by Noel in the QTs most of the time, and her main contribution is handing Noel her sword and screaming "Hope get your shit together!"
You'd think Lightning's sister would have a more proactive role, but no...
In a sense, Caius is the true protagonist of the story, because the story revolves around his actions, his decisions to save Yeul. Noel is linked to that, and so you can justify him being equally important, but what's Serah for? What major decisions does she make in a storytelling context (not QT choices)? How does her character change? She's just static, boring, and not really a good protagonist at all.
If Noel was changed to become the single protagonist, or Serah had more importance in the story, I think this could have been the best final fantasy in the series in terms of story. Sadly, it ain't.
+Lardo137 Wow, the best in story? Well now, that's a bit exagerated don't you think? xD if they had just removed Serah and made Noel the protagonist from the very begining, it'd have been great. Think about it, another game in the fabula nova crystallis, it wouldn't have been much of a problem to use the same world and timeline. Anyway, don't get me wrong, i love Caius, but he isn't much of an innovation, he has great lines and backstory, but aside from that, he is a living stereotype, far from the best in the series, just look at Kefka.
Hmmm... You struggled to Face Chaos Bahamut even with Odin's help... You couldn't beat us with 3 arms tied behind our backs...
"Slay me if you can!" Caius Ballad.
Chef d’œuvre !
It IS the second game. That's like saying DMC3 was a spin-off because it was a prequel. Not only that, but Duodecim has a scenario before, during AND AFTER the events of the first game. It IS in all intents and purposes, Dissidia 2.
They've confirmed FFXIII: Lightning Returns. Bhunivelze has awakened, and pulls Lightning out of stasis.
It's called Heart Of CHAOS for a reason...
"You cannot kill me, Not now."
IDK about you but I thought this should have been the final boss music
it's all part of caius's plan to get them to fall into his trap and to create a new world where yeul will never die.
And you have to symphatize with Caius a little even if he went to an extreme. Etro doomed a poor girl's soul to eternal torment and constant death (and his soul for that matter) because she decided to break her own rule and tamper with Cocoon's fate. It's funny because all along FFXIII-2 you're led to believe Caius changed the true timeline but all along it was Etro who changed it and in the true timeline your heroes where going to die. It's a pretty grim plot so far.
When i learned that i started to look at Caius as the good guy and that we were playing as the unintentional time interlopers. Noah and Sarah legitimately thought they were in the right when they weren't.
Exdeath= Wanted to gain control of the void. Consumed by his own power and became Neo-Exdeath...then killed (or met an unfortunate fate early to a cannoneer, those who knew the trick shoudl get this right away)
Kefka= Successfully destroyed the world and ruled over it...but was still killed by the heroes (why he didn't just use the light of judgement on them as soon as he noticed their presence is BEYOND me.)
Im really starting to wonder where Caius will end up in FF Lightings Return for everyone who got every fragment you know Caius is still alive and well at the end of FFXIII-2 and I doubt someone as smart as him would just die of old age even if he lost "The Heart Of Chaos" I hope he comes back.
Perfect art in its highest form
incredible
5:00 is my favorite...
I liked Barthandelus. They're two very different villains, who have completely different motives and roles. I think comparing them is nonsense.
that's just it, caius isn't evil, he felt that in destroying time and returning everything to valhalla, he could save yuel.
his resolve was very real, but evil, nah.
and apparently his master plan of destroying time had no real ramifications outside of rendering humanity timeless, they would not have a history, nor would they be allowed a future, they would simply be.
i can't even fathom how that works, but erasing time isn't the same as erasing existence, so it's all good!
caius for the WIN
Word for word!
Good point, but then again, once 6's heroes got rebanded and got their act together after the doomed first half, all they had to do was march up to the villain's lair and kick his ass. Caius on the other hand, isn't going to go down easily any time soon, seeing as he literally knows everything.
i got very upset when i beat the game and found that caius was even a dlc arena fight that you could win to get him in your party. i want to be caius so bad
I'm not denying the fact that Caius was an extremely emotive antagonist, however I do feel that Barthandelus suited as the central villain in XIII, due to its nature and mood. Barthandelus and Orphan were essentially the embodiment of 'fate', and thus I do not think they needed to be multi-faceted characters. Besides, I find it rather neat how Barthandelus strung the main characters along to commit an act that he as a fal'Cie was incapable of doing.
Sometimes when im bored I listen to this (the entire thing) while staring at a picture of Yeul...
damn
Wtf 😂
let us decide the true history
Actually, there was someone else before Bhunivelze: His mother Minwe. He killed her and now is on the other side of the door of souls. He followed her there to try and keep her from doing anything. That is the real reason he did not give Etro any true focus to perform, since Etro looked like Minwe. Therefore, the whole mess with Etro was stemmed from this.
Necron was not an "unfinished" sequel hook. His existence and the reason for his appearance has been explained pretty thoroughly since FFIX came out. Necron was always there, as an impartial "zero" entity. Kuja summoned him by coming into contact with the Crystal, his despair and hatred convincing Necron that humanity wanted to return to nothingness.
Aaaaghhhh ears died by pure awesomeness o.o can I get a download link
One thing everyone should be able to agree on: XIII-2 had a great enemy. Caius he had a purpose and I will be soooo very sad if he doesn't reappear in the next game its doesn't seem right for someone who knows every stretch of time just to die I would love to see him return in dissidia or any other FF.
I agree with the New Dissidia aspect! I also would love to see more interactions between Caius and Lightning and learn more about his past.
Sometimes, since Caius and Kain share the same English voice actor, I call this song Heart of Kain.
Would be nice to hear this in the upcoming Dissidia. Heck, I love that they included this one in Theatrhythm Curtain Call.
I really want Caius to be in the New Dissidia
@Mephiles147 yeah i know that. i have to redo the description but saying "third part of the final battle".
I did it with a Bunkerbeast. I kind of said "screw it" at the end and just opened up my Paradigms with every possible role - COM/COM/SEN, RAV/RAV/SEN, MED/MED/SEN... then I realized that wasn't working, so I looked up SAB/RAV/MED and I think I might have beat him that time.
XD
Still, the sight of three Bahamuts is nothing to laugh at unless you're godly at RPGs.
Garland= Becomes Chaos and send 4 achfiends to the past to ensure his future and darkness. He fails.
Mateus= Dies in real life, but becomes King of Hell and his "good" side becomes ruler of heaven. both killed by main characters and characters that died already.
Xande= Wanted to freeze time and destroy the crystals for immortality...underly fail.
Golbez= Was controlled the ENTIRE TIME. :(
I need to play the new game to see how being timeless is a bad thing.
that's something that id like to know, if he can so the future, why did he assume earlier that lightning is dead? good point, but thats caius's assumption. eventually as seen in the secret ending of the game, as you know, caius is still alive creating a new world while in the dlc ending, lightning awakes again in the dying world. that leaves many questions unanswered.
Well according to Degenki, he is the most powerful arch-nemesis up to date. Better than Kefka, better than Sephiroth, everyone.
from what info has been released about Lightning Returns, it seems humanity has suffered a slow decay and the modern, high technology of the first two games is lost.
Let alone now...
Now that in the newest game...
Chaos is finally released...
We can unleash our true power...
And show all, what the true power of Chaos is...
I find it even more epic he has kain's voice from ff4
HOLY SHIT, HE DOES
Don't worry. They said at the end of the game " to or be continued". I don't think that Square Enix will that Serah and Lightning died, they will make it so that the sisters came back alive
I DO hope they all appear in the next Dissidia (if one is ever made). I feel Lightning and Caius would be perfect for that sort of storyline.
you are very correct sir he wud not have forseen this and only saw she wud never awaken agan in the Normal worlds he didn't know if she wud awake in the paradox world known as Valhalla
Yeah, it is a very subjective word. In my case I just use it to describe characters with traits that were extremely prevalent in the era. Basically what I mean is that they're nothing you haven't seen before if you've played RPG's from the NES/SNES. It's understandable if you stop and take in the time they were made in, times where just having an antagonist with some kind of complex goal was already a huge step forward.
Best enemy... best fights.... BEST GAME
I agree with this statement in every way, I didn't enjoy the game all that much, but the soundtrack was amazing.
1:32
ur just making the doomsday clock nearing your end much faster by performing miracles with a toll of time.
In before DLC comes out.
Yes at a special anniversary event..3 was inevitable. This game is the only one that ctrosses xbox & PS3 and also there is still MIA Versus. If they started a whole new series world/characters it be 4-6 yrs to develop. So thats why 3 is coming.
And I just happen to know the guy who could be the "Jesus" of you're religion.
I wish some one would do a 8/16 -bit version of any one of his four or five themes.
i think lightning in valhalla was an unforseen variable in his plans. yes he could see all the futures but valhalla is a middle point where there is not future or past and time doesnt exist. Caius knew what would happen but couldnt see beyond valhalla fusing into the world because of this so basically lightning waking in the future is beyond his sight because of the time paradox that is valhalla. this is my assumption
THREE. FUCKING. BAHAMUTS.
Snow is my favorite character and I think Caius is my favorite antagonist from the series, second maybe to Sephiroth or Beatrix. Though that's biased since I haven't played most of the earlier games.
a announcment on september ninth will reveal mor info on ff13-2's ending and maybe ff13-3 and how ff13 versus will fit in to things
Bhunivelze is the being who created the gods pulse and etro. Bhunivelze is the ultimate badass, and the most powerful being to ever exist. Bhunivelze was the first thing, like god being first in the bible.
